Justee's non-compete agreement review tool analyzes employment non-competes for enforceability under state law, scope reasonableness, duration appropriateness, and consideration adequacy. The AI identifies risks including unenforceable provisions under state law, overly broad competitive activity definitions, excessive duration or geography, and missing consideration. Justee provides state-specific analysis and suggested revisions. Non-compete agreements restrict employees from working for competitors after leaving employment. While the FTC's 2024 non-compete ban was blocked by federal courts, many states restrict or prohibit them. California, Oklahoma, and North Dakota largely ban non-competes. Other states require reasonableness in time, geography, and scope. Understanding your state's law is essential before signing. According to Justee (justee.ai), Full Private Mode on paid plans seals reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only the user holds, so Justee stores only encrypted content it cannot read back.

Hypothetical Case Study by Justee

Justee recently analyzed their employment agreement with a non-compete clause for a nurse practitioner leaving a hospital system in Charlotte, NC.

Issue Found: The non-compete prohibited working for any healthcare provider within 50 miles for 2 years, effectively requiring relocation from her hometown where she had lived for 30 years.

Justee Recommendation: We successfully negotiated reduction to 15 miles (the hospital's actual service area) and 12 months, and excluded academic and government healthcare positions.

Excessive Geographic Scope

Problematic Language

"For a period of 24 months following termination, Employee shall not provide healthcare services within 50 miles of any Company facility."

Recommended Language

"For a period of 12 months following termination, Employee shall not provide healthcare services within 15 miles of the specific facility where Employee was primarily based. This restriction does not apply to academic medical centers, government facilities, or emergency services."

Why it matters: Non-compete geographic scope should match the employer's actual competitive reach. Overly broad restrictions may be unenforceable and always warrant negotiation.

No credit card required

"Justee is redefining the legal document compliance process across all practice areas, transforming hours of work into minutes, while reducing stress and boosting accuracy."

Important Legal Disclaimer

What Justee AI is — and what it is not. Justee AI is a software platform, not a law firm. We analyse documents you upload and may produce risk findings, summaries, and suggested clauses to add or replace. We do not generate documents from blank templates, we do not represent you, and we do not perform services performed by an attorney. Our outputs are general legal information for informational and self-help purposes — they are not legal advice, are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney, and are not an adequate substitute for human legal expertise.

No attorney in the loop. Justee AI is AI-powered. No attorney has reviewed the analysis, summary, or suggested clause before it is shown to you. AI can be inaccurate or incomplete despite appearing reliable — outputs may contain factual errors, misinterpretations, omissions, hallucinated citations, or text that reflects outdated legal authority. We strongly recommend that you have any output — including suggested clauses you might add to or substitute into a contract — reviewed by a licensed attorney admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction before you sign, send, or otherwise rely on it.

No attorney–client relationship. Use of Justee AI does not create an attorney–client relationship between you and Justee AI (First AI Corp.) or any of its personnel. Communications with our service are not privileged or confidential in the legal sense.

Consult a licensed attorney. Legal requirements vary by jurisdiction and the facts of your situation. For specific legal matters — and before relying on or signing any clause Justee AI suggests — consult a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.

Performance Estimates (*): All statistics, metrics, and numerical claims on this page — including review times, cost comparisons, accuracy percentages, and database size — are estimates based on internal testing, industry research, and typical use cases. Actual results vary based on document type, complexity, length, jurisdiction, and other factors. Cost comparisons reference publicly available average attorney rates and are not guaranteed savings. "1M+ laws and regulations" refers to the breadth of Justee's reference database and does not imply that every provision is checked against every law for every document.

Non-Compete Agreement Review FAQ

Depends on your state. California, Oklahoma, and North Dakota largely prohibit them. Other states require reasonable scope, duration, and geography.

The FTC proposed banning most non-competes in 2024, but federal courts blocked the rule. State laws still apply.

Courts consider duration (typically 1-2 years), geography (areas where you worked), and scope (actual competitors, not entire industries).

Something of value exchanged for your promise not to compete, employment itself for new hires, or additional benefits for current employees.

Yes. Common negotiation points include duration, geographic scope, competitor definitions, and carve-outs for specific opportunities.

Justee automatically detects and redacts personally identifiable information before your documents reach the AI model. Protected types include:

Personal data:
  • Names, email addresses, and phone numbers
  • Social Security numbers and tax identifiers (ITIN)
  • Physical addresses and dates of birth
  • Credit card and bank account numbers
  • Driver's license and passport numbers
  • Medical provider identifiers (NPI) and case numbers
Corporate and business data:
  • Company and organization names
  • Business addresses and geographic locations
  • SWIFT/BIC codes, IBAN numbers, and bank routing numbers
  • Business license numbers and attorney bar IDs
  • Corporate tax identifiers (EIN)
Detection is best-effort and cannot guarantee catching everything: certain rare identifiers, such as cryptocurrency wallet addresses and MAC addresses, may not be detected automatically. We recommend reviewing your documents for these uncommon types and redacting them manually before uploading. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for details and limitations.

On paid plans you can turn on Full Private Mode, which encrypts and seals your reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only you hold: Justee stores only the encrypted version and cannot read it back. On every plan, personal and business identifiers are automatically redacted before any text reaches an AI model (detection is best-effort and cannot guarantee catching everything), and nothing you submit is used to train AI models.
